NC_hailstorm Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 A shocking .62'' fell this morning. 2.26'' for the month now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 3.72" for August so far. Looks like I may be a little too far north to get in on the heavier rain unless the storms take on more of a northward movement soon. Edit: Another fail and another N GA win.

mackerel_sky Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Only 83, but dp 75!! What's the HRRR showing for tonight? The rain fell apart from GA. The fronts progress has been slowed some tomorrow , so maybe we can get it through during peak heating and get some good storms tomorrow afternoon!?

sparklecity Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Pitch black a couple miles to my east. Expected to come in and see mby just getting missed on radar, but there is nada. Must not have picked up the storm yet on radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 90/59 = 89°. 3 degrees over the forecast high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowless in Carrollton Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 That may very well be the last rain we see in August. My forecast is dry through the 30th, with only a slight chance tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Seems like HRRR's placement of storms may be too far east this evening as the majority is concentrated in the western upstate/nc currently. Looks similar to last night with near stationary storms putting down good amounts. Hopefully it will be my turn tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Chance of storms in the forecast tomorrow. Wonder if we will actually get some or if it will once again be scattered storms that never happen like last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 HRRR has backed off a good bit from earlier and most of the storms in the upstate are weakening. There are some storms east of Asheville that look like they are moving south and could enter Spartanburg if they hold together. Although, it's kinda hard tell the true directionality of everything because it seems to be moving in different directions. I saw some heat lightning from the storms in the mountains.

I bet 50:1 that this winter CAE will get a monster 4+ inch snow, while we just have clouds, just another kick in the baguettes!

By the way, that avatar is hideous! #TARHEELS4LIFE Yeah GFS is looking pretty dry. At least I've gotten lucky with a couple storms and have almost made it to our monthly average for precip. I'm sure this winter will be full of pain and dissapointment just like the last 2. I'll never believe a 8"+ snowfall spit out by the models ever again. I remember the HRRR and RUC were putting out 18"+ leading up to the storm last year lol. Divide by 10 rule! I'll be pulling for the Tar Heels in 1.5 weeks! The only time I pull for em! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbmclean Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 If you guys go over to http://water.weather.gov/precip/and take a look at NC you can really see how dry its been in east central NC. Wake, Johnston, Wayne, Wilson, Nash and Franklin counties are all bone dry. Some areas have seen less than 10% of their avarage rain in the last 30 days. Most of NC has been dry the last 30 days with the lack of gulf moisture, but this pocket is more extreme. I wonder if there is any particular reason for this or if it is just random variation in nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 MBY had rainshowers in the early morning, in the late afternoon, and just before midnight yesterday. All total, I accumulated 0.41 inch of rainfall. Nice day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just bad luck, you had storms all around you but this time of year they are pulsey and don't move as much.....but even here its been drier I was averaging 4-5" a month every month so far this year but this month I am at half that.

WinstonSalemArlington Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 It has been a very wet month in the Triad. GSO has had 6.66 inches of rain this month, 3.82 inches above normal. Meteorological Summer 2015 will be above normal overall in precip. The temperature is running .5 degrees above normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All summer long most of the storms coming from the west split when they get to Wake and go the the north and south. That's when there have even been any storms in the area.

sparklecity Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 GSP saying cold front will stall out tonight coming off the mountains and flow will back SWly. That gives me a little hope to see something before it turns dry again. This front is taking its time getting here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklecity Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 90°/63°. Pretty quiet so far today in the Upstate with just a lone tiny cell on the Pickens/Greenville border. Cape is around 1500 and dcape is up to 1100. PWATS are a good bit lower today than the previous few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallsLake Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Tons of rain here in north Raleigh (near US1/401 intersection). Looking at the radar there's been nothing at my house (Wake / Granville boarder). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunv Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Had some very heavy rain driving on I-40 from south Raleigh to the US1-64/I-40 interchange. Just a T imby. What a difference a few miles can make. Seems to be another cell to the west of me wonder if it will reach me or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
